Agan Harahap ‘Super Hero’ Photography

Agan Harahap: Super Hero Photography

Born in 1980 photographer and illustrator Agan Harahap from Jakarta, Indonesia, currently works for music magazine TRAX. His latest photography project called ‘Super Hero’ consists of memorable political and wartime scenes from the mid-20th century featuring beloved superheros like Spiderman or Batman in some interesting and funny positions – true juxtaposition in effect. It’s fun to see Superman standing in the Neuschwanstein Castle.

    Very nice.

    Darth Vader a superhero? lame ripoff of the Watchmen concept.

  6. Soda & Candy says:

    It’s an interesting idea, and the Photoshop is very good, but the heroes are kind of just… there. They’re not interacting and there’s no clear purpose behind their presence in the scenes.

    Nice, but Darth Vadar a superhero?

    So he took already-taken pics of superheroes and superimposed them on already taken historical pics…I don’t see how this is art, or intelligent. Kids do this in high school.

    Actually we didn’t post that stuff because we think it’s high end art. We posted it because it’s cool to look at. So, if it’s art or not, it’s a funny idea…

    And nevertheless, dont forget:
    ART = “I COULD DO THAT” + “YEAH, BUT YOU DIDN’T”

    I thought Batman fought AGAINST thugs. Unless he’s about to deliver a well deserved beatdown to Castro.
